When you look back to the day you first met. The sparks would light a candlestick.

For the love you posses is unique & kind, lasting fifty six years is totally divine.

Raising seven kids was indeed a tough job.

Sometimes you laughed, sometimes you sobbed.

The majority of times it wasn’t real funny.

You had hard times & lack of big money.

Hardships, turmoil, illness and death.

All you’ve done helped you pass the test.

You are both unique to live a long time, still holding hands and love in mind.

Now quiet times & still in good health. You both enjoy flowers & love is your wealth.

Feeding the birds & occasional squirrel You can sit back now & reflect on your world.Congratulations for having the best love of all. For loving, caring & raising us all. For marriage is not easy, but it is lots of fun. Hold on tight, there's lots more to come.
